"Da Da Da! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The continuous roar of the machine guns, mixed with the crisp sound of the rifles like fried beans, completely enveloped the entire south bank of the Marne. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The Germans and the Anglo-French forces, totaling two million men, fought the fiercest battles on a front of hundreds of kilometers.

"Attack! Offensive! ”

"For France, rush! Kill all the Germans. ”

"For the glory of the British Empire, rush!"

"Fire, kill them all!"

Both the British and French troops and the German army were shouting frantically. Bullets rained down on the enemy. The Germans who were hiding in the fortifications were fine, and there were places to hide. Although their fortifications were hastily constructed overnight, they were of great use when the artillery of the Anglo-French forces was completely suppressed.

On the other hand, the British and French forces on the attacking side completely exposed their bodies, and the fragility of the human body was vividly demonstrated at this moment, and only one bullet was needed to take away a fresh life.

"Da Da Da!"

A squad of machine guns was firing, and several magazines had been fired, but in front of the position, no less than twenty Anglo-French soldiers had fallen. But even so, the offensive of the British and French forces continued.

In this battle, the soldiers of the British and French forces showed a strong will to fight.

Of course, this also had a lot to do with the propaganda of the officers, who declared to these ordinary soldiers that both the British Empire and the French Republic had reached the most critical moment, and if the German army could not be defeated in this battle, then the British Empire and the French Republic would be destroyed.

For these soldiers, they did not want to see their country perish, and all they could do was to fight to the death with the Germans in the war.

It was under such circumstances that the Battle of the Marne was fought so fiercely. The soldiers on both sides of the war fought to the death. Their bodies were on the south bank of the Marne, and they had been piled up in a thick layer.

"Your Highness, the Anglo-French attack is fierce. Although we have repelled their attacks many times, inflicting great casualties on them. However, they still did not collapse. Major General Manstein reported to Qin Tian.

"Well, the next battle will become more and more tragic. Neither the British nor the French, they did not want to lose. So, if we want to defeat them, we have to work harder. Qin Tian nodded.

"Let the artillery and aviation, continue to provide fire support to the front. Our forces are inferior to the Anglo-French forces, so we have to find a way from the firepower. Qin Tian commanded.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Without adequate mobilization, the German army was never able to compare with the Anglo-French forces in terms of strength. However, thanks to the already strong combat effectiveness of the German army, coupled with advanced weapons and equipment, it became possible to win more with less. This is also the reason why Qin Tian is full of confidence in this battle.

"Let's hope that the Anglo-French attack will be more violent, so that we will be able to kill and wound their living forces with great firepower. In that case, the next battle will undoubtedly be much easier to fight. Qin Tian thought secretly in his heart.

Qin Tian was undoubtedly able to wipe out the main force of the Anglo-French alliance in one fell swoop in this Battle of the Marne. Although the total strength of the Anglo-French alliance is more than 3 million people, the real main force is not very large. If their main forces can be eliminated in this battle, then the German army will truly win the battlefield on the Western Front.

Although, as the war progressed, the German casualties were also rising. However, compared to the losses of the Anglo-French forces, the losses of the German army were undoubtedly much smaller. If this continues, the first one who can't hold on will definitely be the British and French forces.

The fierce battle between the two sides lasted until sunset. The front-line troops of the German army were almost exhausted from exhaustion. However, they have achieved great results. Although the Anglo-French forces invested the main forces in this offensive. But the German defense line was still very strong. At the same time, the Anglo-French troops were in front of the German lines, slamming their heads and bleeding, and the losses were extremely heavy.

While the Germans were celebrating that they had resisted the attack of the Anglo-French forces and had caused them heavy losses, the Anglo-French troops were wailing.

"Your Excellency Marshal, the 8th Army has lost more than 50,000 men in today's battle, which is already a quarter of the entire army. If this continues, I am afraid that the army will soon collapse. "Auguste, commander of the 8th French Army? Admiral Dibayi said with a sad face.

General Foch, commander of the French 9th Army, was also iron-faced. Although he didn't resemble Auguste? Admiral Dibay wailed like that, but he was undoubtedly equally distressed by the heavy losses of his troops.

The French 8th and 9th armies were new units that were formed later, and they were not only poorly equipped, but also inadequately trained. In this offensive, it served as the main force to counterattack the German army. They suffered extremely heavy losses under the heavy firepower of the German army. The losses of these two armies alone today are almost 100,000 men.

The rest of the French 2nd Army, 4th Army, 6th Army and the 2nd Army of the British Expeditionary Force also suffered considerable losses in today's battle. Combined, several army groups also lost sixty or seventy thousand people.

If yesterday's losses are added, the Anglo-French forces have lost more than 200,000 troops in this battle, which is equivalent to one-fifth of the troops they deployed on the Marne line.

The will to fight of the Western armies is often not as firm as that of the eastern armies, and if the losses exceed 10 percent, the troops can be regarded as heavy losses. More than 20 percent, many troops will collapse.

If it hadn't been handled properly, I'm afraid there would have been chaos a long time ago.

But even so, Marshal Xia Fei had to admit that it was almost impossible to launch a counterattack and drive the Germans back north of the Marne. Next, I am afraid that the only way to do this is to continue to fight trench warfare with the German army, block the German army layer by layer, and use the trenches to consume the German army's vital strength. As for launching another counterattack, it will certainly not be possible in a short time. Otherwise, if the losses soar again, the entire coalition army may collapse. When the time comes, there will be no need to fight at all.
